Laverne and Shirley, the mega hit TV show from the late 70’s was actually a spinoff of the show Happy Days. Incredibly, more successful than Happy Days, Laverne and Shirley ran for eight seasons from 1976 to 1983. Laverne and Shirley (played by Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams respectively) first appeared on Happy Days as two girls who were out for a good time with Fonzie and Richie on a date. Laverne and Shirley proved to be such a smash success with audiences that Happy Days‘ producers arranged for the two talented ladies to get their own show. And the rest, as they say – is history.
